Hibiscus Braid rosa-sinensis

Thrives in full sun—aim for at least 6 hours of direct light per day Can tolerate bright indirect light indoors, but flowering may decrease Outdoors in summer, place in the sunniest spot available for best bloom production

Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry Likes consistently moist soil, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot In hot weather or sunny locations, may need watering every 1–2 days In cooler temps or indoors, reduce watering frequency

Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil Use a high-quality potting mix with added compost or peat Container should have good drainage holes Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and give roots room Temperature & Humidity Thrives in 60–90°F (15–32°C) Cannot tolerate frost—bring indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C) Prefers moderate to high humidity—mist regularly if indoors during dry months Fertilizer Feed every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer with a high-potassium, blooming plant fertilizer Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter when growth slows Over-fertilizing can lead to leafy growth with fewer flowers
